Ok towed more than a few time but noticed this icon on the drivers display.

Is this normal while towing? Strange that my owners manual has the same icon for both Automatic Emergency Braking System and Forward Collision Warning. Exact same icon. So which one is it? Seems like one is an actual warning of a system malfunction and the other is indicating a system is turned off. If it's normal I guess I just missed it on more than a dozen towing trips. Very possible!

If you are talking about right-most of the warning lights, yes it's normal. It means the proximity sensors are off because you are towing.

That's merely that the front sensors are disabled. Hence, why you only have a simple cruise and not adaptive cruise while towing.
